Last month I posted a message asking for help on balancing social time and dancing time at a local dance. Also, in how to regain their attention during a walk through. Thank you to all of you for your responses. I noted all of them and channeled you all during tonight's dance. I was surprised how noticeable the "slight lull" in voices is when you're paying attention. I made sure to jump in at that time. The crowd was very good tonight and listened well. I also used the "raise your hands if you have hands 4 in the back". Another thing I did that wasn't mentioned is I made sure that the sound was crisp and clear in the back of the hall so the people at the bottom of the set would be able to hear me. I was very intentional about this during the sound check. And the last thing that was so helpful was that I had a very good sound engineer who made sure my voice was clear and not muddy. Thanks again, Jacqui
